## Inserting a Move Rotary Table Command

The Insert | Move | Move Rotary Table menu item allows you insert a MOVE/ROTAB command at the cursor's current location.

Command line in the Edit window:
MOVE/ROTAB,angle,DIRECTION,feature

Command line with a stacked configuration:
MOVE/ROTAB, angle, DIRECTION, angle2, DIRECTION2,feature

Direction = determines the direction of the table rotation. The available options are:

Clockwise
Rotates the table in a clockwise direction until it reaches the angle entered in the Rotate Table Angle box.

Counterclockwise
Rotates the table in a counterclockwise direction until it reaches the angle entered in the Rotate Table Angle box.

Shortest
Rotates taking the shortest route (either clockwise or counterclockwise) until it reaches the angle entered in the Rotate Table Angle box.

angle and angle2 = the relative offset angle used to rotate the table.

feature = the feature or alignment to which that the table will rotate to.

When PC-DMIS encounters this command, it rotates the table to a position determined by whichever MOVE/ROTAB command is active. If both an angle and a feature are defined, PC-DMIS rotates to an angle which is the sum of the angle to rotate the defined feature to +Z and the offset angle.

Consider a measurement routine that has multiple different MOVE/ROTAB commands. If you click on a particular portion of the measurement routine and select the Move Rotary Table menu option, PC-DMIS rotates the table to the position determined by whichever MOVE/ROTAB command is active at that point in the measurement routine.

This menu option is only available if your LMS license or portlock is configured for rotary tables.
